Kanaya Green Tea Festival (April 12th~13th)!

On April 12th (Saturday) and 13th (Sunday) a festival dear to all lovers of green tea in Shizuoka Prefecture will be held in Kanaya, Shimada City! The Kanaya Green Tea Festival!
Posters can already be seen in most of the railway stations in the Prefecture!

The poster inside Shizuoka JR Station!

this festival is held only 2 years, so don’t miss it!
As for the access ride the Tokaido Railway Line and get down at Kanaya Station.
People coming for afar can take the Shinkansen until Kakegawa Station or Shizuoka Station first and then board a Tokaido Railway train.

The Festival also include festival chariots and Japanese drums!
These will be held between 15:45 and 21:00!

Don’t miss the tea girls dance!

The tea girls dance will be held between 13:15 and 14:45 by thousands of them!
It will be held 400 meters away from Kanaya Station, but I will check!

We’ll be there, bringing one or two of our “O-cha-loving” grandaughters with us, to sort of “represent” Washington State, USA. Since visiting Shizuoka and the World Tea Museum there in Kanaya, two years ago, and learning about this every-other-year Matsurii, we’ve been counting the days!!! Is anyone else attending from across the big pond?

Dear Don and Barbie! Greetings!
I went to Kanaya to do some research yesterday. I got some pamphlets and will get more around the 6th of April. They are in Japanese but they will be useful. Actually an English-speaking friend working for the Shizuoka City Tourism Bureau might join us!
